{#2017ChristmasMoments // A Photo Challenge}

My sweet friends Stephanie and Beth hosted another fun Christmas photo challenge this year! I love these things. Christmas and photos and especially Christmas photos are my favorite! Here's a look at the pictures I shared for the challenge...

Day one • red || this photo should suffice! 😂 Mason is obsessed with the back of the Jeep and always wants to hang out back there. I’m obsessed with his Jeep Christmas shirt and think I need to make one for myself!

Day 5 • tradition || one of our favorite Christmas time traditions is to have the tree farm cut a sliver off the bottom of our tree so that we can turn it into an ornament each year! What is one of your favorite Christmas time traditions? #2017christmasmoments

Day 12 • elf || Mason is crazy about his elf, Max. I love how he pops out of bed each morning in December to go find him! Sure makes for easier mornings. We use our #elfontheshelf to encourage good behavior, to teach random acts of kindness and as another tool to teach Mason the reason for the season. How do you elf? #2017christmasmoments

Day 15 • Tradition || a new tradition that Mason and I started together this year is praying over the families that we received Christmas cards for. I think it may be one of my favorite traditions yet. So, if you have sent us a Christmas card know that we prayed for you and what an honor it has been to do so. ❥
